- Summary
- The Chicago & Western Indiana Railroad was a short line running 16 miles. One line ran from downtown Chicago to Dolton, Illinois; the other running from Eighty-First Street to the Indiana state line. After World War II, changes in passenger travel and shipping meant that the need for rail access into downtown Chicago declined. The C&WI ended its service in 1994.
